    I strongly agree with this -- a surgeon can only be as good as his or her team and system.https://twitter.com/hmkyale/status/888928845927251968 …

        This is why there is surgeon burnout. It's is reflective of society. Everyone wants someone to blame and to share in others success.

        We also need to make sure this does not deter us from taking care of the sickest of the sick, simply to avoid 'looking bad'.

        A good surgeon needs talent, good training, lots of experience, a great team and humility. Juniors need support, seniors provide support.

        You think that because you're a good surgeon. Or you're a good surgeon because you think that. Both may be true.
